MaxAuto 18X7.50-8 18x7.5x8 Turf Saver Lawn Mower Tire 4PR, Set of 2

What It Is

The MaxAuto 18X7.50-8 Turf Saver tire set is a direct-replacement, 4-ply rated lawn mower tire designed for riding mowers, zero-turn mowers, and garden tractors. Its “Turf Saver” tread pattern is optimized for minimal lawn damage while providing stable traction on flat, gentle terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three measurements on your current tire:

• Diameter: Must be 18 inches (sidewall to sidewall, mounted).
• Width: Must be 7.50 inches (tread width, not rim width).
• Rim size: Must be 8 inches (rim diameter at bead seat). Check your mower’s original tire size stamp (e.g., “18x7.50-8”). This set fits most riding mowers from brands like John Deere, Husqvarna, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet that use that size. It is an aftermarket replacement, not OEM-specific—verify the rim width (typically 5–6 inches) and offset (usually zero) match your wheel hub. Do not assume it fits if your tire size is close but not exact (e.g., 18x8.50-8).

Key Things to Know

• Quality & build: 4PR (4-ply rating) is standard for residential mowers—adequate for flat lawns, but not for heavy loads or rocky terrain. The rubber compound is firm, not soft, so grip on wet grass is average.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a tire iron, bead lubricant (soapy water works), and a compressor to seat the beads. If you’re not comfortable mounting tires yourself, budget $10–$20 per tire at a local shop.
• Common gotcha: These tires are tubeless-ready, but the rim must be airtight. Old rusty rims may leak air—check bead seat condition before mounting. Also, the tread depth is about 3/8 inch, which is shallow; don’t expect aggressive traction in mud or snow.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a reliable, budget-friendly set of 18x7.50-8 tires for a riding mower on flat, well-maintained turf and you’re comfortable with basic DIY installation. Skip them if you require heavy-duty puncture resistance, deep mud traction, or a softer ride over bumpy ground—in those cases, look for a 6-ply or knobby-tread tire instead.
